The land of puppies and babies where stroller parking and BBQ grilling abound. This is where you'll find the subjects of this gift guide. They've appeared before as The Newcomer and we've spotted them in Tiny Town - they're the munchkins, the groms, the little people who are taking over the lives of our friends, our family and us.
Celebrate them this year with gifts that are creative, and classic. Leave the plastic and pre-packaged behind and instead opt for things mom or dad won't mind tripping over in the living room.
